I am in the midst of trying to enrich my life through rock. Things are too busy right now and work and in personal commitments. I am trying to tread that fine line of being a good friend, beyoncé, employee, coworker, family-member, volunteer… Well frankly, it’s all become a little much and I am not being very good at any of them. Lately I’ve been relying a lot on my favorite support – Miller Light. But I have a girlish figure to think about and my reputation in the neighborhood. (What people must think when they see my recycling bin each week…) So for the week I have put a ban in alcohol. Except for Thursday. Thursday plays into the other half of my back-to-normalcy plan.
Over the course of my relationship with Wonder Boy, I have become more and more entranced by the power of music. Attending a good show is wonderful. Being lulled into a kind of trance while you stand in a sweaty crowd… well, it’s amazing. So while I am trying to brace myself from the lunacy that is charging at me at about 100 mph, I am trying to soothe my soul with music.
A few weeks ago I saw Guster and more recently Pete Yorn. On Thursday I am seeing Justin Timberlake and Pink and this weekend I am seeing the Hold Steady. (I know one show stands out and probably makes me so much less cool in your eyes but seriously, if you are thinking that, then you need to get over yourself.) I have at least there concerts I am looking forward to in the next month or so.
With some loud music bouncing off my eardrums and sweat pouring down my stomach, I will find that perfection that only music can bring.
